using an input file

For most of the scripts I created, I did:

$vmlist = "blah", "blah1", "blah2" <-hold the file located in c:\tmp\inputfile


foreach ($vm to $vmlist)
{
Get - VM $vm | Select-Object - Property Name, NumCpu | FT - AutoSize

I really want to use an input file instead of list that I am above. I've tinkered with it but im just don't get it.

Thank you!!!

Hello, drivera01-

You can use something like Get-Content or Import-Csv to take input from a file.  Since you are just a list of names, you could make an input file that has a name of virtual machine per line, use Get-Content and then iterate over the list of names of virtual machine, such as:

## get the list of VM names from a text file$vmList = Get-Content C:\temp\inputFile.txtforeach ($vmName in $vmList) {Get-VM $vmName | Select-Object -Property Name,NumCpu | FT -AutoSize}

Or, in this case, since Get - VM accepts an array of one or more names of virtual machine, you can just pass the list "imported" to hold the names of virtual machine once you did call Get-Content, like:

...## no need to use a foreach loop in this instanceGet-VM $vmList | ft -AutoSize Name,NumCPU

(also cleaned the part select/ft a little).  Other ways to use an input file will result in Import-Csv if you have a bit more involved data or Import-Clixml if your input data is in XML format.

How do I?

  • various input file formats to diadem

    Hello

    Am new to this area of DIAdem. I read that DIAdem takes input .dat, .mme, .xls and .iso.

    Can someone make me understand that, so that these different input files are used and how they differ from each other? What type of file is more efficient to use?

    Hi Rash.patel,

    They CAME to files, so if you have this file type on your hard drive, you can load it into DIAdem.  If you have a choice of file formats, NOR recommend TDM/TDX or PDM.  List you provided, the former DIAdem *.dat file format is preferable, because it's the only one in the list of stores as a block of data in binary files, which makes it much faster to read and write.

    What type of data files you load into DIAdem to analyze and report?

  • Formats of sound by using "his writing file.vi.

    This question applies to "Sound File Write.vi" and the reading part, too.
     
    This vi is ready to write sound waveforms where data DBL ranging from-1 to 1.
    In vi, there is provision to convert more formats such as I8, I16, etc. (_ArrWfmsToData.vi), but they do not operate properly, probably because a specific type code (10 to DBL) should be selected for other formats.
     
    The question is: what is the way to use other formats in addition by default in DBL?
     
    Best regards.

    What version are you using. If you use a Labview 8.0 or higher. You can right click on the VI and select the type to use as input. The default value is atumatic.

  • Change the structure of program based on the input file

    I have a program that takes parameters of an input file and then executes a Visual acquisition, using IMAQ, controlling some other hardware at the same time.  The duration of the various stages of this process control settings.

    There is a sequence stacked structure to control the playback of the input file, the initialization of the hardware, and then a while loop on the last image to actual purchase.

    The user of the program now wish to have several games acquisition in the same race, possibly with different time settings.  This would mean different iterations of the final loop, based on the parameters of the input file.  There could be 5 games of acquisition on occasion, 3 on another, etc., in a performance of the program.

    The structure VI already seems a little baroque, and I don't want to make it even more complicated.

    I would appreciate advice on how best to proceed, because I'm really a novice of LabView.

    If you use a "State Machine" architecture, you can do exactly that.

    Instead of having a structure of stacked sequence, it is essentially a case structure in a while loop.

    Each case represents a State.

    So in your case, you would have a State for:

    -reading the input file

    -initialization of hardware

    -data acquisition

    You can have the user controls the number of iterations of the State for the acquisition of data that you want to run.

  • error LNK1181: cannot open input file "... \..." \.. \build\win\objR\PMRuntime.lib'

    I have create a new Plugin.

    But happen error LNK1181: cannot open input file "... \..." \.. \build\win\objR\PMRuntime.lib'

    Why?

    I looked at the project and have it fixed with success, but unfortunately I can't send that overall because of the way the project was sent initially. Most absolute paths are the paths used in the project file and that's your project needs changes to much space when focused on a new machine. I'll give you advice on how to solve your problem and how to improve the project is configured for better portability.

    How to solve your problem.

    1. Remove $(MODEL_PLUGIN_LINKLIST) from the list and it will work well for you. The wrong way is written in the sdk file attachments that are included in your file accessories
    2. After taking the first point, you will again have a binding error, to solve, it adds ASLSupport.lib to the additional dependencies in the section of the linker.

    How to set up a project in a more portable way

    1. You should avoid using absolute in several locations paths, because when you move the project to another machine, you will need to change the paths to all these places
    2. Even using relative paths does not solve the issue properly, because in this case you must place the project from a location on each computer so that it works correctly. This is the reason why it was not $(MODEL_PLUGIN_LINKLIST) for you. The Adobe sdk samples use relative paths, so move the project so that by using their configuration fails if the relativeness of the road is not maintained
    3. In order to be totally portable, we should make use of macros and define them in one place. So that when you move the project, change the paths in this single file solves everything. An example of this is how you set the id_sdk_dir macro in your file attachments.

    Hope these points help you to solve your problem and put in place the project in a better way.

  • Input file

    Hello

    I am looking for a Solution how to use "input" file

    For example to start only a special amount of VM.

    I tried with a one-liner. that works, but takes a long time for many vm ;(

    Start-vm test1, test2, test3 test4.

    theire is a possibility to generate a text including the necessary vm file when appropriate. - and use it as input. ?

    thx a lot

    Max

    You can use a text file that contains the names of all customers (one per line).

    vm1
    vm2
    

    Then, you can do any manipulation of the comments on each other like that

    Get-Content "C:\file.txt" | %{Get-VM -Name $_ | Start-VM}

  • Is it possible to use versions of file on a time capsule airport

    Hello

    I know that it is possible to use versions of file on the SSD and iCloud drive for example for numbers by going back to the old versions.

    When I use a NAS functionality is not usable with a Synology for example.

    Is it possible to use the versions of the files with the files saved on a Time Capsule?

    BR

    Excellent question.

    I just tried it... to see what is happening.

    I was able to come back as long as the document is open... but I got the warning below as soon as I close the document.

    Of course that stores the file directly to the CT... I have not test what will happen if you save the file to the virtual disk... that might work... and could run even on the synology. A virtual disk is very different to directly save your files.

    See Q3 here on establishing a dmg which you can also do it on the synology.

  • Toshiba 32TL838: flicker after fw upgraded in the menus, using HDMI input

    Hello

    yesterday I updated firmware of my 32TL838 to version 6.4.0Y.1 / 94.6.27.8 using the upgrade feature network.

    After the upgrade, I reset the TV to start again with the factory settings.

    During the quick installation after the reset, I noticed a very bad video quality. The entire image flickered, had a ghost effect and looked at interlaced. The menus were almost illegible.

    Once the installation is complete, the TV switched TV (cable DTV) normal mode and at least the TV picture looked quite normal. While the input CABLE is selected, I can also open menus as before, they are displayed correctly.

    But as soon as I switch to the HDMI input, the image becomes nuts once again, just like during the initial installation, including recoveries of TV menu. Sometimes it becomes stable for maybe 30 seconds, but then he is paralyzed again.

    A few words about my setup: TV uses only input HDMI 1 and the cable entry, nothing else is connected.
    Links to HDMI input to a receiver Onkyo TX - SR508 AV which is powered by a Fantec 3DS4600 media player and the Blu - Ray BDP - S373 player.

    Because I expect the question of what-to-your-HDMI-wiring, I traded the HDMI cables but as expected which has not helped at all.

    At least, I seem to be successful by bypassing the problem when you use the Fantec drive.

    Before I updated the firmware, I was able to use the drive with 1080 p/60 Hz and the player has been installed as a result.

    Now I switched to 1080 p / 50 Hz, and the video image seems OK again. (However, I made a short test and as I said, sometimes_
    the image is OK for a short period).

    Unfortunately my BluRay player has no menu to change the frequency, so I watch BluRay or online services, the player offers, is impossible.

    So, what can I do now? A downgrade of firmware (if possible) would be a quick temporary workaround I could accept. But medium-term I'm expecting Toshiba to restore functionality that they promoted and for which I paid.
    (Youtube stopped working with the old firmware and it seems that 1080 p/60 Hz no longer works with the latest firmware).

    Anyone know how to downgrade the firmware using a USB? I already downloaded the previuos version tl838_853886.bin but I do not have a nail how (and if) it can be installed.

    Thanks for your advice
    BELEKTRO

    Hello

    As far as I know the isn t possible downgrade firmware.

    But you said that you noticed this problem by using an external device connected to the HDMI 1 port.
    As far as I know the Toshiba 32TL838 supports 4 HDMI ports.
    I recommend you to check all of the 4 HDMI ports as well as to check all device configuration options.

    Check for example the rate of active movement + option available.
    This option allows to improve the rate of cooling of a TV

  • input file, not an archive valid

    Hello

    Initially, the application was written in CVI 6.0. Now, I created a new project and workspace and adds all the files.

    The build works very well. But I get when a link (build) is the error message "error: input file is not an archive valid: 'c:\Projects\...\bin\i7000.lib'". ""

    With another library, I get the same problem: "uart.lib."

    The other just lib files work fine.

    I saw in an old post a solution: just to recreate the project I did. But it did not work in my case.

    Any help?

    At soon Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

    I tried to build a simple project by calling a function of each of the libraries that you provided:

    Get_Uart_Version();
    FloatToHex (12.34);

    The project has been successfully building, there was no mistake in the linker. I tried with CVI 2013 and CVI 2013 SP2.

    You can try and see if such a simple project always gives the same error of link for you?

    If not, it is possible that the problem is not only a question of format library. You would have to try and simplify the project until you find the portion of code that triggers the error from the linker. As an alternative, you can send us your project and we can try to isolate the problem.

  • myRIO - measure unique output completed using differential input

    Hi all

    I had used myRIO 1900 to measure the power of the microphone, which varies from 0 to 5V (biased to 2, 5V).

    I used one of the analog input ports completed only connector MXP or B to read the value.

    A few reasons, I changed the microphone with amplifier and when measured using oscilloscope and other hardware DAQ, supply range of + 5V and - 5V.

    As the MXP is unable to read the voltage-ve, I realized that I need to change the connection to the MSP connector C.

    It is mentioned in the dataheet of myRIO we can measure up to differential Channels analog input +/-10 V.

    Although there are some reference materials available, I do not understand completely how to read the single ended output using differential input.

    Should I use no matter what op-amp or comes directly from their phone?

    Can someone kindly explain to me the differences and some references on how to connect!

    Although I tried to read through this white paper, I felt completely lost

    http://www.NI.com/white-paper/3344/en/

    Exit ended unique direct and/or the amplifier has 2 pins: GND and Vout

    Entered different a 3-pin: A +, A - and ALWAYS

    I had attached the screenshot of the form OP amp for your reference

    I think that you just connect your Vout to the + ve differential termination, MASS to Terminal - ve. (Briefly) An asymmetric measure is between the channel of GOT it and STILL while a differential measurement is between the + ve and ve - terminal. One measurement unit completed is referenced to GND is where you are measuring the tension of.

  • use custom reportgen file but do not touch original

    Hello everyone,

    Sorry if someone else asked previously.

    Is it possible to use a reportgen_txt.seq modified under another name so not to disturb the original file?  If so, how can I tell the client that I want to use the NEW file changed the file to another name?  I'm looking to create several custom report files to use with many different Client files.  The goal is to keep all my customers unique once I create a deployment.  That way if for some reason, the software must be reinstalled it will not overwrite the file reportgen_txt.seq that someone else modified it, making it so easy installation process, then ask someone to get into the environment and ask them to do it manually.  Also is there a way to associate this custom in the Clients directory file?  Thank you in advance for any information you provide to help me better understand this package

    The package of serves is TestStand 2010.

    Kind regards

    Scott

    Hello Daniel,.

    I found a way that works for me with respect to the subject ReportGen.  First, I changed the setting Report Options to what you suggested a few more.  The line of my customer file has been updated as follows: Parameters.ReportOptions.Format = 'IO' + '.txt' and my updated ReportGen updated file has been renamed as: "reportgen_IO.txt.seq".  The final result gives me about what I'm looking for.  That way I won't have to worry about move the reportgen file in the client directory.

    With regard to the second question: Yes, I really should create another thread for it.  I of course only after the fact.  I have a work around that involves manual labor of the person who installs the software as a readme.txt statement.  I'll look at the information you published and start another thread with more information, if I do not find something before hand.

    Thank you very much for the information you gave me.  Its much appreciated.  It contributed to my education process to better understand the TestStand software environment.  Thank you for pointing me to the finger in a positive direction.

    Kind regards

  • using the .ini file created by EXE

    First of all I would like to say that I have a thorough knowledge of the .ini files and the need for them.  My question is related specifically to the .ini file that is created with the executable.  I searched the forum but have not found any instance of my question specifically.  After installation, the .exe and .ini are placed in my working directory in Program Files, which I expected.  The .ini file that is created is attached.

    Now, I would like to point to a different .ini that stores control settings.  I did it in the App generator under Advanced > Use Custom Config File.  That's fine and dandy, but the network, web, settings etc that have been created in the original .ini does not get included in my new .ini.  If my option is to use an .ini file separated with my control as well as created by the .exe parameters.  This seems redundant.

    My question is: does nothing my executable with the .ini file that is created when it starts to run?  I'd be OK NOT to have attached items if I wanted to point to a custom .ini file?  Why create an .ini with these specific settings file if the .exe does nothing with them?

    The only article I found is this one

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/5467F7D7895835C186256FAF00600A21?OpenDocument

    but it does not explain what the .exe is done with it, if anything.  I guess you have a total control over the .ini and there is nothing "automatic / backstage" going on here.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Why remind you the application builder to a custom INI file if you are going to have to read the chips inside manually anyway?  The reason to use a custom within the app Builder INI file is so that you can include specific parameters of execution (VI, access list server, port etc.) which are different from the settings using the LabVIEW development environment.

    You need not key in the INI file for your run-time application (as evidenced by the fact that if you delete the INI file, your exe will still works, creating a new INI file with default values).  If you leave the defaults, the application adds in the first leg in any case.

    You can store your own data in the same INI file used by the executable file; just put the keys in a different section.  LabVIEW Config File format INI files screws slightly differently (for example adding spaces around the = sign), but I didn't know it causes problems.
